Aric was wonderful to work with! He was reliable and consistently in touch. I hired Aric to help monitor all of the paperwork for purchasing my house (the sellers were not going through a Real Estate agent) so Aric reviewed all of that paperwork and would then present it to me. I was often traveling and didn't spend as much time looking over the papers as I should have so Aric would call me up and fill me on things I had missed. I really appreciated his dedication on looking everything over triple times because he found a few mistakes that could have had consequences for me down the road.

Also regarding price, I checked out a few lawyers in the Berkley, RO and Birmingham area and Aric quoted me an exact price which is exactly what he ended up charging me. (This was super important to me because I've been in situations before in the past where I'm told one price by a lawyer and then my bill ends up being full of all sorts of small charges and fees I was not projecting, this was NOT the case with Melder & Melder which I really appreciated!)

I would definitely work with Melder & Melder again if I ever were to require their services in the future!

I had obtained the legal services of Melder an Melder for legal matters. Mr Aric Melder has been a very kind and competent professional who treated us with professionalism and kindness. He was very methodical and competent in settling our legal matter. I recommend the firm highly

I worked with Aric Melder (in lieu of a Realtor) throughout the process of offering to purchase a home through the closing. He knows his stuff and had my best interests in mind throughout the entire process. His schedule was flexible enough to meet my demanding work schedule when we needed to meet in person. That says a lot as I'm sure his schedule is pretty hectic. I would gladly recommend Aric and his firm for your real estate needs. In fact I am still working with him for other services (will, PoA, and Patient Advocate).

Sanford J. Melder opened the doors to this law office in 1974, and has been practicing in the local, state and federal courts of Michigan ever since. In 2004, he was joined in practice by son Aric. Our two lawyers have combined experience of nearly 50 years, having been practicing law in Oakland County, Detroit and surrounding areas of Southeast Michigan the entire time.

We do not take a back seat in terms of technology or expert witness resources either. As an established firm, we have access to and strong relationships with appropriate experts in all areas of our practice. Our technology tools include access to the standard legal databases used by most firms, as well as sophisticated software and multi-media courtroom presentation capabilities.

I endorse this lawyer. I will refer clients to both Aric Melder and Sanford Melder when I have clients or receive calls from potential clients with issues involving Divorce, Probate, Will/Trust, Guardianship/Conservatorship, Debt Collection and Traffic Citations. They also have an excellent trial practice and their litigation work is phenomenal.
